Happy to share our @chemicalscience.rsc.org paper where we extract a SAR model from HT crystallographic readouts of fragment elaborations in crude reaction mixtures! Thanks to @kate-fieseler.bsky.social for co-writing and @philbiggin.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1039/D5SC... #MyFirstChemSci #FBDD #D2B

Congratulations @haroldgrosjean.bsky.social and @kate-fieseler.bsky.social on their paper explaining how to extract SAR data from throughput crystallographic evaluation of fragment elaborations in crude reaction mixtures. Awesome work! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Structure–activity relationships can be directly extracted from high-throughput crystallographic evaluation of fragment elaborations in crude reaction mixtures
Fragment-based drug design offers multiple routes to advance from fragments. One approach is to build structure–activity relationships (SAR) from analogue series in direct-to-biology workflows. Analog...

Congratulations to Harold Grosjean, Anthony Aimon, Storm Hassell-Hart and Warren Thompson, on their latest work appearing in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social, where small-molecule binders can be extracted directly from crude-reaction mixtures - cool! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Binding‐site purification of actives (B‐SPA) enables efficient large‐scale progression of fragment hits by combining multi‐step array synthesis with HT crystallography
Fragment approaches are long-established in target-based ligand discovery yet their full transformative potential lies dormant, because progressing hits to potency remains underserved by methodologic...
